As soon as Qin Degui saw Li Zhongyi, he hurriedly nodded and knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Hey, the little one is here to see my uncle, I haven't seen you for a while, but I want to die of the little one, and if I don't see you for a day, it's like three winters......"

Seeing that Qin Degui had also learned to drag the text, Li Zhongyi smiled dumbly, this guy is like a copy of Huang Qing, seeing people talking about people, talking nonsense when he sees ghosts, sweet words, coaxing people to death without losing their lives......

"It's expensive, I really haven't seen you for a few days, what's more interesting lately?" According to the old rules, Li Zhongyi still quietly stuffed five taels of silver cakes into Qin Degui's sleeve.

Speaking of which, there will be pity for those who are hateful.

When these servants enter the palace, they have to be cut off from their children and grandchildren, and in the blink of an eye, most of the fun of life is lost, and there is only greed for money to support the elderly.

Li Zhongyi's stay in the palace is not too short, and he knows some unknown insiders.

In fact, many high-ranking chamberlains who used to be high-ranking and powerful in the past ended miserably.

According to the ugly rules of the burial of kings who accompany death, after the death of the ancestor Meng Zhixiang, dozens of palace concubines who had no children, as well as more than a dozen eunuchs who were close to him, were all martyred.

"Uncle, you have been rewarded too much." Qin Degui never dreamed that Li Zhongyi, who was already the deputy head of the palace, would give such a heavy reward when they met as before.

Li Zhongyi deliberately glared at him and said, "Why, I haven't seen each other for a few months, so I dislike my master?" ”

Qin Degui wiped his eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Xie Cairen, who has just entered the palace, has been very powerful recently. It is said that there is a strange fragrance on her body, and if you smell it, you will lose your soul, and the saint revolves around her all day long, and she is about to be spoiled to the sky. ”

"In the past few days, the concubine has eaten very little, slept not well, and her temper has been getting worse day by day, and she has smashed a lot of treasures. Yesterday, the sage invited the concubine to enjoy the plum blossoms, but she was cold-faced and made a fuss. ”

"Huang Yeye, I have been hollowing out my mind in the past two days, and I want to please Xie Cairen......"

While Qin Degui led the way, he gave Li Zhongyi the recent big and small things in the palace, like pouring beans from the bamboo tube.

Li Zhongyi thought to himself, this Mrs. Hua Rui is really bold enough, seeing that she is gradually falling out of favor, she actually dares to show Meng Chang her face.

Alas, women, you can be petted, but you can't be spoiled. Spoiled women, especially big beauties, once you are a little less than she wants, she will either find you a green hat to wear, or shake your temper and spend your money in a majestic manner, making the family restless.

Li Zhongyi secretly warned himself that his wife and concubine, no matter what their status, must be restrained in the future and not spoiled too much.

The Hanyuan Hall on the side of the Liangyi Palace, which is the office of the province in the palace, is about a quarter of an hour's walk away from the Zichen Hall of Changshen.

Qin Degui took a few steps forward and passed the news of Li Zhongyi's arrival to the attendants in front of the palace province.

"Hulala" saw a large group of officials of all sizes in the palace and province, rushing out, like the stars holding the moon, surrounding Li Zhongyi in the middle.

"The next official pays a visit to Young Eunuch Li."

"The little one has seen Young Eunuch Li."

Li Zhongyi had a warm smile on his face, and while greeting these officials of the palace and the province, he thought to himself, these people are so enthusiastic, aren't they afraid of offending the "number one" here, the palace eunuch?

According to Qin Degui's introduction, Wei Tingyue, the chief administrator of the palace, was Meng Chang's companion, and he has always won deep trust, monopolizing the power in the palace, and is a powerful figure who can say nothing.

After listening to everyone's gossip introduction, Li Zhongyi knew that everyone dared to be so enthusiastic, but it was the welcome ceremony arranged by Wei Tingyue, the supervisor of the palace.

Li Zhongyi secretly reminded himself that this surnamed Wei should not be underestimated, and he is very good at the officialdom of salute first and then soldier.

Based on Li Zhongyi's experience in mixed officialdom, under normal circumstances, a leader with real power, courage, and backing, as long as the deputy does not touch his core interests, he will basically share a little scraps with you after he has eaten enough.

If, as a deputy, he insists on challenging the authority of this powerful leader, the end will definitely be a fight between the two tigers, and one will be injured.

The pool here is too small, and Li Zhongyi never thought that he would defeat Wei Tingyue and take the throne himself.

When it was time to meet Wei Tingyue, Li Zhongyi politely bowed his hand and said, "Xiaguan has seen Duke Wei." ”

Wei Tingyue smiled implicitly, returned the salute, and said: "I also admire it very much for making such a great contribution this time, since ancient times, heroes have been young people." ”

This Wei is worthy of being an old fritter in the officialdom, and when he met, he mentioned Li Zhongyi's brilliant military exploits, but if he was an ordinary person, he poked the itch, and his good impression was born.

"Duke Wei is too ridiculous, the lower officials are still very young, and there are many things that they don't understand, so you need to ask Duke Wei for advice." Li Zhongyi shook out his Tai Chi hand, pressed Wei Tingyue over obediently, and gently removed his shoulder.

Wei Tingyue's eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled slightly, and said: "Brother Wujiao, you are too humble, everything else can be faked, but military merit is a real achievement." ”

Li Zhongyi is clear in his heart, and it is absolutely impossible for the so-called friendship between the deputy and the number one leader. The higher the number one holds you today, the bigger the stumbling block will be in the future, making you fall harder.

"When Xia Guan was still a doctor, I heard that Wei Gong was a civil and military all-rounder, not only could write poetry, but also killed several traitors with his own hands." Li Zhongyi secretly thanked Qin Degui for that guy.

If it weren't for Qin Degui making up a lot of information on the road, Li Zhongyi would probably not be able to shake out the past that Wei Tingyue was most proud of.

"Haha, blameless brother, it's hard for you to remember it so clearly, I'm really ashamed." Wei Tingyue's words were very modest, but the smile on his face was thick.

In the absence of a conflict of vital interests, it is indeed very easy for colleagues to play the trick of lifting each other in a sedan chair.

In the blink of an eye, Wei Tingyue and Li Zhongyi are like old friends, you come and go, the more you talk, the more "speculative".

After changing the tea a few times, Wei Tingyue slowly turned to the topic, and he said: "No blame, brother, my body is far less tough than before, and I need someone to help take care of some important affairs in the palace." You used to be a top-notch imperial doctor, and I was thinking about it, similar to the affairs of Shang Pharmacy, Yeting and Xigong, and the insiders were in charge of the insiders, so as not to make big mistakes. ”

Just now, Li Zhongyi learned from Qin Degui's mouth that the most oily and watery yamen in the palace is mainly for purchase and construction, that is, the three bureaus of Shangshi, Shangyi and Shangshe.

Relatively speaking, the court in charge of the inner palace, as well as the Shang Pharmacy, although there is also some oil and water, but there are a lot of trivial chores, and it is easy to be in a dilemma and take the blame at every turn.

It seems that this Wei someone is pinching the oil and water department and not letting go, but he also gave Li Zhongyi a certain amount of real power, and it is difficult for Wei Tingyue to think so thoughtfully between these trade-offs.

"It's all up to Duke Wei." Li Zhongyi had no idea of fighting for power and profit, and in the face of Wei Tingyue's temptation, he calmly accepted the arrangement that was not too bad.

Seeing that Li Zhongyi not only did not make noise, but was as good as a stream, Wei Tingyue felt that he had done a little too much, so he added a bargaining chip, "No blame, brother, my legs and feet are a little inconvenient, and I have to ask you to worry a lot about the expansion of the Taiye Pool, brother." ”

Li Zhongyi understood as soon as he heard that because he had adopted a cooperative attitude, Wei Tingyue threw a bone that was neither fat nor thin.

The project in hand, don't do it in vain, Li Zhongyi himself is not greedy for money, and it does not prevent him from taking the project for favors.

"Thank you, Duke Wei." Li Zhongyi deliberately pretended to be shallow-eyed and expressed his gratitude to Wei Tingyue.

Although Wei Tingyue felt that Li Zhongyi was a little slippery, he was young after all, less than twenty, and his horizons were inevitably a little unbroad.

"Since it's decided, I'm going to play His Majesty." Wei Tingyue was worried that the night would be long and dreamy, so he simply hammered a nail.

When the time comes, even if Li Zhongyi wants to regret it, it will be too late.

Just when Wei and Li were talking, they never saw another young eunuch show up, Li Zhongyi thought to himself, that colleague may be on a business trip, right?

After the big thing was negotiated, Wei Tingyue was satisfied with commanding the chamberlains to help Li Zhongyi arrange the official hall of the office.

Because Li Zhongyi has a lot of miscellaneous affairs, Wei Tingyue considerately thought about him and vacated a room of about 20 square meters to be used as Li Zhongyi's office room.

Li Zhongyi had been in the Shang Pharmacy for a while, and he knew that the palaces in the palace were not enough, and everyone's offices and offices were very small. As little as a few square meters, as much as fifteen or sixteen square meters.

This 20-square-meter office room is already regarded as Wei Tingyue's special care, as a preferential treatment to cooperate with the leader's work.

After tidying up, Wei Tingyue took the initiative to invite Li Zhongyi to go to the Jade Pavilion for a banquet tonight, and Li Zhongyi readily agreed.

Mixed officialdom, everyone needs to eat and drink, contact feelings at the wine table, and when the wine is hot, the dirty things that are not easy to do on weekdays dare to be taken out and colluded in private.

It was almost noon, and the chamberlain of the provincial chef brought a red lacquer food box and put the dishes on the small table one by one.

A plate of roasted mutton, a small pot of boiled vegetable soup, half a golden chicken, a plate of sesame cakes, a bowl of noodle soup, and a bowl of steamed cress.

Li Zhongyi only glanced at it, and felt that he had no appetite at all, but he was very hungry, so he had to nibble on two browned chicken thighs, and ate the noodle soup in his stomach with great enthusiasm.

The waiter who came to collect the dishes saw that the dishes on the table were almost untouched, so he said cautiously: "But the young eunuch thinks the taste is wrong?" ”

Li Zhongyi didn't think about being a difficult person to be a public chef, but if he ate these things every day, he was afraid that he would be hungry for a long time.

"You go and get Chef here." Li Zhongyi has never liked to treat his personality badly.

Anyway, it's a public "canteen" for eating, and he, the third-in-command of the palace province, should be qualified to ask for a small stove to be opened alone, right?

When the chef came, Li Zhongyi taught him a set of stir-fry methods. Li Zhongyi asked to eat fried lamb with celery tomorrow, fried grass turtle shell (eggplant), wild mushroom chicken soup, scrambled eggs with leeks, stir-fried white cabbage (Chinese cabbage), and glaive-shaped wontons (dumplings).

The rest of the dishes here are easy to handle, but the leeks and green onions are the problems that Li Zhongyi deliberately came up with.

Li Zhongyi has been mixing in the palace for a few months, and naturally knows that in the imperial vegetable garden, several greenhouses have been built, and leeks, green onions, eggplants, and celery are cultivated in them.

Meng Chang himself doesn't like to eat leeks and green onions, but the people in the imperial vegetable garden have been planting, if you want to say that there is no cat greasy in it, Li Zhongyi definitely doesn't believe it.

In addition, Li Zhongyi specially explained that the chicken in the wild mushroom soup should be a chicken rack with the chicken removed, and green onions should be added to the soup.

Solving the problem of eating, Li Zhongyi just picked up an official document, and before he finished reading a single word, an attendant came to report, and Huang Qing urgently asked to see him.

As soon as Huang Qing entered the house, he reported with a sad face: "Back to Li Gong, something is wrong, the cat raised by the concubine is gone." ”
